Hi guys

Looking for an 856 swing arm to replace my knackered one. If an x55 type would be suitable (don't know too much about compatibility but pivot is behind the b/b) then I would definitely consider one of those.

If someone has one spare I'm interested particularly if you're in the UK or Europe.

Cheers

Hi All,

Greetings from potatoland.

An interesting thing happened last week at the Tour de Fat (a fine family time) here in Boise ID while I was riding the screaming yellow 5000.

Bumped into a young lad who said there was interest/demand in Proflex bikes. He was full of Fat Tire beer and enthusiastic - so was I. Searched and here I am with questions.

Have a 98 Proflex 5000 - carbon forks and swing arm in a Way Big size. All stock XT and XTR with some new old stock parts excepting the tubes and tires. It's in good/very good condition. I have had other bikes and this one has not been ridden hard.

Is there a market/ demand and if so what might be an appropriate price? Nobody here knows a thing about this bike. What is the preferred venue for a sale? Craigslist?

I'm not a collector/gear head and thought it might be good to get it in the hands of someone who might appreciate it before I break something.

Can provide pics - is there a way to upload?

Thanks!

JT

if you catch the right person on the right day you might do well, but sometimes it goes the other way. There's not a strong demand for them, but if you get 2 people bidding against each other you might get a good price on Ebay.

pretty nice looking 856 with disc brakes up on ebay.

Do you guys think that the rear SID shock would work properly on an 856?

jeffhop · « **Reply #308 on:** September 09, 2008, 10:29:08 pm »

wow, never seen a sid like that, its probably worth buying the bike for the shock but as it is it looks a very nice bike in the colour of the moment `grape` must admit im warming to the colour a lot now. buy it and remove those stickers and you have one hell of a bike imo, if it was a uk bike i would be interested (sshhh dont tell the wife!)

Hello all,

Came across this while doing my usual Proflex searches today:

For $50 it seems like it'd be well worth it just for the parts.

*sigh* none in the UK

ack, I just didn't search there :-/ You all tend to have some nicer units show up on eBay.co.uk, like 957's...I haven't seen one of those on US eBay in ages. :-/

Currently talking with a guy about buying his Way Big K2 5000...I mainly want the carbon legs and SmartShocks for my upgraded 4000. Maybe then I'd re-do a frame like that late ProFlex racing bike we've seen pics of lately...did we ever determine that it was a standard '97 year carbon rear swingarm and stock strut on it?

Don't I know it.... My 856 is still sadly lacking a swing arm
